Lightbulb how to write perl substitute command in shell scripts
How to write perl substitute command in shell script without invoking a perl script file seperately.

for ex:

shell script to relace IT with CSC in a file using perl substitute command.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/perl -i -pe 's/IT/CSC/g'

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to do this? You can do this easily with sed !!
